CM7 - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please direct me to a thread that would explain you me what the benefits of cm7 are over any other toxic or trigger or some flashable rom like those ive been digging and cant find a consensus on weather or not its worth trying just keeps seeming like a more difficult way to make my rom more stock like. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks

The only way to truly understand what CM7 is about is to actually try it for yourself.

^ Exactly, it won't hurt you or your phone.
FLASH IT. TRY IT. DONT LIKE IT? SWITCH BACK.

Just flash it--you cannot explain in simple terms what CM does.

Its so easy to install with rom manager premium. Come on flash cm 7 u know u wanna...lol

I was going to download it via rom manager but wasn't there in the list of devs? I am certain I'm a premium user bought it legit from the market I can manage the long route for install I'm just curiouse is it more or less just an aosp? I understand to just try it. I'm just giddy and don't have the resources for the next few weeks to afford to take the chance on having issues with install if its just more or less stock miui or sonething. I understand the just try it view just had a nooob inquiry before I proceeded to do so lol :-D

If you don't know how to go back to stock, then don't do this.

Actually went back to stock via odin after cm7 wouldnt register on the network... Any ideas thoight it was sexy aside from that little bug (or error on install on my behalf)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

reflash cm 7 again but dont pick 9-11 nightlies as there pointless. pick 6-8 nightlies as there good and stable in my opinion. When installing on ur first try make sure u check off all three, wipe data, wipe dalvik, and backup rom and then on ur second nightlie install u dont have to do the data wipe but make sure u check off the other 2! I hope this helps as Cm7 is worth it!

The thing that sucks is newer people root and then d/l ROM Manager and as soon as they open it it says "hey flash this new broke a$$ recovery." So they do it cuz newer is better right?? Then we get 43 threads titled my ROM won't flash/backup won't restore/ yadda yadda yadda.

Root: Yes or No

Hello i am new here. I tied to search a bit somehow search is not working...
I wanted to ask you if you would recommend me to root. Please say also why. You cam recommend me some themes too.
Thanks, Mmjk3

Root is needed for removing Ads in Apps. So i recommend root.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
I have and i don't see any dis advantages to it so you may as well as it makes your phone a lot faster and you can use different app that require root access. Hope this helps!
I use root for OC with setcpu! To backup my apps when i format my phone i use Titanium Backup so root is almost a must have! I recommend it to eveyone who wants to take the most of your phone.
And its less risky to root samsung devices cuz they can be brought back to factory condition by flashing stock firmware via ODIN.
Rooting isnt as risky as flashing (infact it isnt risky at all until you flash some wrong stuff).
Root your ace and Enjoy

I am 15. I have already flashed my phone with around 13 ROM's. Even bricked it sometimes. But, somehow managed to get it back to life. Chill, rooting is safe until you flash something. And do *NOT* overclock after rooting

my suggestion for this is to root, your phone can have more of the good stuff if you are rooted plus you can tweak your phone if you wanted to, just don't panic like the others when they brick their phone or any of those common questions here

when you root your phone, you can either still have the stock rom or you can flash a new rom like cm7 it doesn't necessarily mean when you root your phone you'll have to flash a new rom or kernel it depends on you, but people do flash a new rom/ kernel for a purpose, maybe to have their phone perform faster..

Rooting just installs an app called Superuser. The phone stays the same. But with that simple Superuser app, you can give your phone a complete makeover.
I highly recommend you root, but if you don't want to mess with it or don't know what you're doing, then don't. Or if you're going to, make sure to follow a guide step by step.
WHATEVER YOU DO STAY AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER. It will COMPLETELY break your phone to the point of no return.

Partly yes, but rooting install too the /system/xbin/su binary, he is required to have working root. That means Rooting installs an app called Superuser and /system/xbin/su.

How do I uninstall the JB ROM completely?
Edit: Whenever I connect my phone to my computer, it won't show up and I can't add anything to my internal SD.
Edit 2: I got it. I appreciate the help anyways.
Should be very similar as how you flashed the rom you currently have. Not to be a smartass but the op also posted instructions on how to flash. You just need to download the rom and the current gapps for jb and flash using twrp or cmw. Great rom too. For me not quite ready for a daily driver but really good.

Don't use goo manager to flash. Flash manually in recovery

Just download the ROM and gaaps you want put on your SD card(internal SD is fine) whipe data, cache ect. Use twrp to install. I prefer twrp because you can install everything in one shot. Hope you figure it out.

People shouldn't be flashing anything if they're asking how to uninstall a ROM...
If you have no knowledge then why risk it??
Read read read read read
And idk how much I can emphasize this but READ
This isn't a help hotline or a help website with walk thrus.. there is YouTube for that..
The OP of every ROM or port or hack or mod has detailed instructions on how to flash a ROM and the requirements.
If you can't figure it out by reading and having a some what knowledge of what's going on....stay away from flashing..
That's how we get all the "I bricked my phone help" threads...
Not being a d*ck but all this can be solved by simply reading

[Q] Kernel questions

I'm thinking of installing flapjaxxx kernel on my i717 running black star x, will this dump my current settings and contacts?
And what are the steps to do this (running cwm)?
It shouldn't. All I did was boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then install from sd card.

Glad you got it running. No telling what the issue was before
I bricked my phone, I want to know why
Hi.
First of all I apologize for my not so good English.
The thing is that I hard bricked my note i717 by flashing a wrong kernel and now I know that JTAG is my only option, but I want to know if they are going to be able to bring my phone back to life, I don't live in the US that is the reason why I want to be 100% sure before I send it.
I was experiencing some problems with the USB not being recognized by any computer, after searching and reading a lot of post it came dawn to an incompatible kernel (something to do with the fast-charge option) so I´ve tried to flash a fast-charge compatible kernel but I downloaded it wrong and BAM!!! my phone is just a brick now (kinda useful to hold the door)
Full info:
I had the stock AT&T rom, then flashed some other roms without problems until this one:
cm-10.1-20130304-experimental-quincyatt-m2, that's where the USB problems began... after that one I had pa_quincatt-2.57-20120122-201611 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320)
My question is:
Is it possible to connect the device(you know the JTAG method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc ) now that it is hardbricked even if it wasn't recognized before bricking?
I appreciate the responses in advance. :laugh::laugh:
